Friends are concerned as Jessie Wallace gets banned from Eastenders – again
currently loved-up with US actress Nicola Peltz, 25]. She thinks that putting Brooklyn on a show like Strictly – with all the attractive female dancers – is just a recipe for disaster. She’s also said that she wouldn’t want David going down to the studio every week to support Brooklyn, as she feels there’s a curse for a reason and that people are out to cause trouble with big -name celebrities.”
However, the insider adds that David, 44, doesn’t agree with Victoria, 45, and thinks it would be good for Brooklyn – who dropped out of New York’s prestigious Parsons School Of
Design in his first year – to learn a different skill and have more structure in his life.
“David says that ballroom dancing takes a lot of discipline, which he understands as a former footballer,” our source says. “He doesn’t understand why Vic isn’t being more supportive, considering she was a dancer herself. But she thinks that the producers tend to pick celebrities based on the potential drama they could cause, pairing them up with certain dancers in the hope that romance will blossom. It just plays into all of Vic’s worries. She doesn’t want Brooklyn’s love life to become a sordid topic of speculation – she’s asked Brooklyn to turn it down.”
The insider continues, “Unfortunately for Vic, Brooklyn is doing as he pleases these days. He has quite a short attention span when it comes to potential careers. He’s tried his hand at a few things now, but he doesn’t seem to stick with anything. That’s why David thinks something like Strictly could make a man out of him, as it will require a lot of hard work and there’s a competitive element he thinks would be character building.” ■
